Cost Considerations

Various cost factors go into the final decision to produce a form. Costs consist of both one-time (flat) and running costs. Flat charges center around the preparation of the system used to create the first copy. Charges such as the cost of paper, ink, machine, and labor are all running charges. One way of reducing costs is to order "two-up" or side-by-side forms attached by a perforated line. Other cost-reducing alternatives are:

   1. Using standard size and weight paper.
   2. Ordering in larger quantities at a discount.
   3. Discouraging the use of unnecessary color.
   4. Using standard locations for key captions and form title.
